Mahina vs Finis Shooter vs Finis Trainer?

How do the Mahina, Shooter and Trainer compare in PROPULSION?

Hi Lyara.

I believe the first tail I swam in had a finis fin, but I'm not sure which one. I currently use a Mahina which is a great fin. I find it has great propulsion and is just a really nice tool. I do find I need to wear neoprene socks with my Mahina, because it started to give me blisters after a few months of wear. I did not have this issue with the finis thin in my learning tail. Not exactly and answer to the question you asked, but hope it helps none the less. :rainbow:

As far as propulsion goes, I'd get the Finis Trainer. I currently have the Mahina and while I still like it, I wish I could kick harder with it. Whenever I really get myself going with hard, fast dolphin kicks, I can feel the fin folding from the pressure. I know finfolk uses the trainer in a lot of their tails. It holds up and propels really well with all that silicone on top of it!

To add on to that I believe that the Shooter and Trainer have comparable propulsion, its more of a preference of shape since the trainer is vertical and the trainer is horizontal
